Got Chivalry at 50% it was totally worth it... when it connects.

I'm musing over Air Buccanners if more NPF's get it i will certainl jump that bandwaggon...

Are there any comparison videos between Air Bucaneers and Wings of Icarus? I haven't bothered to look yet, and they seem like very similar games (like Chivalry Vs. War of the Roses).

But yeah Chivalry is great. And it's even better when you manage to get the entire server you're on to partake in fisticuffs duels, where anyone breaking the Gentleman's Agreement of Honorable Fisticuffs Combat get's pummeled by all nearby players (be they teammate or foe, and always still with fists even though they have a weapon) or votekicked from the server. Good times.

From what i understand and the little i saw, they are nearly clones, but Air Buccannneers have enemy ship boarding and it seems a bit more stylized

...i'm heavily inclined to it....

EDIT: Fuck it... just bought Air Buccanneers now i need to convice 4 more of you to buy it so we can dominate the skies.

Also, yeah, the Ships in Guns of Icarus are much more prettier, but the gameplay on Air Buccanneers seems a lot faster and boarding enemy ships totally closed the deal for me. It's real cheap for a new game, so i suggest you guys to hope in the damn badwagon right now

I was at my uncle's on Christmas Eve+Day and had to work out how to use an iMac for the first time ever. Technically, I was checking Skype to see if relatives over in Argentina were online.

Man, why did nobody tell me before that Galactic Civilizations was a thing.

Gal-Civ is a thing, and it's still on sale for 75% off!

I once again advocate the joys of the Mount&Blade games (mainly the multiplayer side of Warband and the DLC Napoleonic Wars).

A video of a linebattle I attended as light infantry (the closest to how most public play is done I guess...):

Of course, BL2 would go on sale for 50% off again a couple of days after I bought it.

In about eleven minutes, it'll be up as the next Community's Choice sale. Grab it if you haven't!

quick update... Air Buccaneers is great. IT's lightning fast to get in the game is super non complicated, it looks good, plays well and it's fun. Start the game, click fast play, BOOM you are playing. You level up as you play your role, and regardless of the team you play, you level up both at the same time. So you can be playing as a pirate, and if your team sucks, just switch to viking, stay on the same server (or not) and just kick ass without loosing any XP. totally worth the low price of admission.

Also on that note... Chivalry : Medieval Warfate is also pretty pretty fucking great... long range is a bit off, but hitting someone is very satisfying. Also the BEST use of the C key on my keyboard EVER.
